[edit] Lyrics

When you wish upon a star

Makes no difference who you are

Anything your heart desires

Will come to you


If your heart is in your dream

No request is too extreme

When you wish upon a star

As dreamers do


Fate is kind

She brings to those who love

The sweet fulfillment of

Their secret longing


Like a bolt out of the blue

Fate steps in and sees you through

When you wish upon a star

Your dreams come true
